I Owed The Vampire Prince. [15]
"Damn, she hit you hard.", Liam said as he placed a bag of ice on my lip and I hissed in pain. My lip hurt so much it made me want to rip my lips off. I swear I can feel my bottom lip swell.
I rolled my eyes, "Thanks for letting me know.", I sarcastically said, but sounded funny since a bag of ice was over my lip. I already knew she hit me hard, I'm not stupid. And why do pixies have to be stronger than humans, aren't pixies supposed to be nice, sweet, cute, caring, helpful creatures? Like real softies?
Zoey is really opposite of that!
My lip isn't bleeding anymore (Thank goodness), but my lip going to be looking real funny for a few hours I bet. My nose, it feels broken, probably is.
Jasmine and Romy came in with a square band aid gauzes, tap, and what looked to peroxide bottle. "Okay.", Romy said, moving the ice bag from my lip. Jasmine made a disgusting face, guess she doesn't like to see blood or any kind of damage on someone face. Romy gabbed a rug that was next to my desk and purred whatever was in the black bottle, but once it was near my face, I jerked away.
I didn't know what was in the bottle, so yeah, I'm nervous. "Relax, it's just peroxide.". She rubbed the ragged around my lip, then went to my nose. Usually when I rub peroxide on cuts, it doesn't hurt, but I hissed in pain when she placed and rubbed it on my nose, "Sorry.",
"It's okay." I said.
She then folded the square gauze like a hot dog bun and placed it on my nose and tapping it down. "All done.", she said, with a smile, then a frown, "Sadly your bottom lip looks weird and it'll be really full for a few hours, already looks bigger then you upper lip.",
My right hand swung up to my mouth, embarrassed. I probably look like a freak or something. I mean, my bottom lip probably looks creepy.
"Don't worry Dorinda,", Jasmine said, pulling my hand away, "you look fine.".
I smiled, until Mitchel came in with a letter in his hand, but one he looked at me, he freak out, "Whoa.", he said, dropping the letter out his hand.
"Uh!!", I groaned, covering my face with both my hands.
"Nice one.", Jasmine said.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to freak out like that.", Mitchel said. "Here, Master Lucas told me to give this to Dorinda.",
I uncovered my eyes and saw it was the letter in his hands. I just look at it, not wanting to move my hand so my lips wouldn't be expose. I probably look likes when I eat peanuts. Yes, I can't eat peanuts unless I want my tongue and lip to swell up.
Jasmine took notice, "I'll read it.", she said, taking the letter from his hands and unfolding it. 'Dorinda, I apologize for Zoey action. She has been fired and she'll be returning to her world. -Master Lucas.'
No! I didn't want this. I didn't want her to get fired. Why did I have to say what I said to her. Because of me, she got fired. I groaned in disappointment, covering my eyes with my hands again. "What's wrong Dorinda?", Jasmine asked.
"Because of me, I got her fired, I should have ignored Zoey at dinner and she wouldn't have gotten fired. It's all my fault.",
"Don't be silly, you aren't the reason why she got fired, it was her own action on why. Even, it was time for her to go, she was becoming annoying. Maybe if she wasn't the jealous type and be jealous of you, she woul-",
"What?", I asked. Zoey was jealous of me? Me? Why in the world would she be jealous of boring ol me? It isn't like I'm pretty or anything like she is. "Why in the world was she jealous of me?",
"Cause you were happy as a little girl.", Romy said. I brought my hands down till they stopped at the end of my nose. I raised my eyebrows in confusion. Yeah, I had a happy life growing up, but why would she be jealous of that?
"Zoey been here since she was 13. Back in our world, she wasn't really happy, her mother was single and they were having hard time paying to keep their house. That's why she came her, cause here you get payed good money and she sends money to her mom.",
Now I feel even more bad. I'm such a horrible person! I got her fired when she needed the money, more then ever. "I'm so horrible.", I said.
"No your not.", Liam said, placing a hand on my shoulder, "Her mother all good now with paying for thing. Zoey only stayed her is to cause she liked to be bossy. She always remember her past when their always a new worker cause she like to whine about her past to others, but I don't know why she kept being mean to you for so long.",
Okay, I feel a little better, but still feel bad about her past. But this is still Zoey were talking about.
Liam then placed his hand on my knee, "You're a better person then you'll ever think. Your amamzing", he said, smiling sweetly. Their were seconds of silence. I couldn't help but notice how dark green his eyes were. I smile back at him as my cheeks
More silent went past till someone cough, or faked cough more like it. I snapped out of it when I realized it was Jasmine. I turned my head to her, from her face, she looks like she was trying to hid a smile. "Okay, everyone out. Bedtime.", she said, waving her hands up and down for people to get up.
Liam rolled his eyes, "Night Dorinda.", he said, getting up, kissing my forehead. I wanted to explode! Did he really just kiss my forehead? And I liked it?
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!!!!
Once everyone was out, Jasmine closed the door and I swear, her smiled looked like it was about to rip her face, "Ohmygoodness!", she exclaimed, jumping up and down over to my bed. "Liam likes you!", she said. "And you like him!",
"He does not and I don't either.", I said, moving my hand from my mouth and getting under my covers, Jasmine sat next to me. Do I like Liam? I couldn't. It wasn't possible to like someone in over a second. Was it?
"Yes you do.", she said, poking my arm.
"Whatever.", I said. My thought went to what Zoey said early. About what she said about William, how he could feel what I'm feeling and now where I am. Was that true? Could all of that be true? "Jasmine, Zoey said while she was done punching me and before she slapped me was that, William could feel and know where I am. Is that true?",
Jasmine sighed. "Yes.",
"Why didn't you tell me?!", I exclaimed. Why didn't she mention that when I got bitten three weeks ago?
"Because he doesn't really pay attention to the feeling he gets when he know how you feel or where you go. Most vampire don't ever pay attention to what human they bitten, they learn to block it out.",
Should I feel better? No! It still freaked me out!
"And only too way for him not to know that stuff about you is, if you die, or if another vampire bites you, but that's no luck since than that vampire will know what you feel and where you are.",
You have got to be joking! So pretty much I can't get out of this. This sucks!
I grabbed my pillow and scream in it. But my throat then hurt like hell. "Ow.", I exclaimed, throwing the pillow and bring my hand to my throat, rubbing it. I feel like I'm getting strep throat. I get it every spring, but here, it's like fall all year round.
"You must be getting sick.", Jasmine said, laying her hand on my forehead, where Liam kissed. I blushed when I remember. "Yup, your warm but close to hot, and telling from your cheeks, must be remember Liam kissing you.", she smirking evilly at me.
"Shut up, it was just my forehead", I said, laying down. "And your wrong, I was thinking of something else.", I lied.
"Mh-mmm.", she mumbled, "Well, you should really go see Master Lucas on this so you might be able to get a day off for a few days since your getting sick.". Last thing I want to see is him, even when I have a busted fat lip. I don't want someone else to freak out like Mitchel. I groaned. "Want me to come with you?",
"I don't feel like freaking someone else out with my lip again.", I admitted.
"This is a vampire we're talking about. Hello. Anyways, he's probably still in his office and I don't want you working when your sick. Now get you redhead butt up and lets go.", she said, grabbing my arm and practically dragging me out of my bed.
Once we were outside his office, Jasmine didn't even have to knock. "Come in.", his said, he sounded like he was a little stressed. Jasmine opened the door and went in. Me, I didn't go in, but that didn't stop Jasmine from pulling me in. "Anything wrong?", he asked, placing down some papers.
"Yes Master Lucas, Dorinda is getting sick.", Jasmine said.
Lucas sighed and rubbed his face, "Jasmine, you may go back to your room. Dorinda will be down in a few minute.",
Jasmine nodded and patted me on the back. She walked over to the door, opening and closing it on her way out.
"I have learned about many dieses and flues and other stuff. So, what do you have?", Lucas asked, getting up from his chair.
"I don't know, my throat hurts, so I thi-", but before I could finish, Lucas was in front of me, both of his cold hands were on my throat, rubbing in circles like a doctors does.
"You have strep throat.", Lucas sighed, moving his hands, running his hand through his hair. He turned around, walking back to his desk, "Great, just want I need. I already fired one of my workers, now I have a slave that's sick.", he said, he was probably talking to himself.
"Sorry about that.", I said, performing about making him fired Zoey.
"Doesn't matter,", he said, sitting down in his chair, "Tomorrow I'm arranging to get another worker tomorrow.",
Hold up, so he can just get another pixies just like that? I thought pixies come her ecause they need a job, not because Lucas gets them. Then what makes them different from me and Isabelle?
"What makes you different is that I can pick what pixies I want, but if they don't want to come, they don't have too, and when they work here for a little and they want to leave, they can. Slaves like you, don't have a choice on coming or not. I can take you and you can never leave.",
Okay, he just gave me a bigger head ace. One because he wont stop reading my mind! And second cause he made me feel stupid. I hate it when people make me feel stupid!
"Really?", he asked, smirking evilly.
"Stop!", I yelled, rubbing my temples.
Lucas laughed, "This is to funny.",
"Shut up!", I yelled, rubbing harder on my temples. Me yelling at him only made him angry and he grabbed me from behind my neck roughly, making my hands fly up, trying to remove them.
"One thing I hate about your species is having such a big mouth you should just keep shut.", he said, his voice cold as his skin.
I tired to move his hands, but I had no luck, "Let go. Please!", I begged. My neck was in so much pain. But he didn't listen, he just gripped harder. It was becoming hard to even breath in little air, "Please!", I begged again, looking in his eyes, hoping it'll work.
He rolled his eyes and let go. I fell right on the floor, coughing hard and breathing in and out fast. "You humans are so weak.", he said. I kept on coughing for a few more seconds. Once I stopped, I rubbed my throat. "Get up.", Lucas said.
But I didn't, I couldn't. My legs felt like when you lay down on them and they go to sleep. Lucas groaned in frustration and picked me up from my shirt collar. "Go back to your room,", he said, letting go of my collar, I tired my best not to fall, "and tomorrow, don't worry about working. You have one day off, try to get better.", he said, walking over to his desk again.
